The Zafira is branded as Vauxhall, and Chevrolet, depending on the market. In Japan, the Zafira was sold as Subaru Traviq. The car first appeared in 1999, and a second generation model was introduced in 2005. The Opel Zafira has seven seats arranged in three rows, the back row of which can be folded into the floor to create more space, individually or together, rather than requiring that extra seats are physically removed from the vehicle. The system was named Flex 7. The first generation of Zafira is usually referred to as Zafira A, as is customary for Opel models. The car was based on the same platform as the 1998 Astra G/B and shared much in common with that car. The Zafira A body was used in GM's concept hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle the HydroGen3. The Opel Zafira A was replaced by Zafira B in Europe and Japan from 2005, but is still sold in most other markets, except for Australia and New Zealand, where the model was cancelled altogether. The Zafira was sold in the Philippines from 2001 to 2005, being the last European-based Opel car to be sold in the Philippines after they stopped selling the Opel Astra in 2003. Names and markets Opel Zafira – Europe (except for UK), South Africa, China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan Vauxhall Zafira – United Kingdom Holden Zafira – Australia, New Zealand Chevrolet Zafira – Latin America, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines Chevrolet Nabira – Malaysia Subaru Traviq – Japan Assembly sites Bochum, Germany Rayong, Thailand (For ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, China and Japan market) São José dos Campos, Brazil In Indonesia, assembly has taken place since 2003 in an unspecified location Engines The Opel Zafira comes with a variety of engines adopted from the Astra. For Europe, there was a CNG-powered version and a 200 hp turbocharged version by the Opel Performance Center. In Brazil, the Zafira is also available with a flexible fuel engine.

Usually is quite hard to find a good second unit outside but now I'm into their community, there are few well maintained units available. Second hand parts can get easily from certain chop shop as compare to Avanza. The specialist in maintaining this car is located at Sunway, there are really expert in this car. FC about 11km/l for town use and 14km/l for highway, quite good for a 1.5 tonne with 1.8l car.

There are 2 engine variant available in Malaysia, 1.8l and 2.2l. I add on the auto cruise, it's just replacing the original stalk, kind of plug and play.

Sunway is too far & not convenient for me.
